It is traditional to have a Parade at a rally and this was headed and marshalled by the
Police and junctions were closed to allow the reported 7,000 Harleys to pass
uninterrupted. A few sports bikes and even a mini bike and a pink Vespa sneaked into it, all welcome of course! People lined the streets
throughout, cheering and waving, as it was well advertised locally in advance. Those taking part assembled at the Estoril
race track and did a circuit there before taking the road to Sintra, returning
to Cascais along the coast, then to Carcavelos, looping back to Cascais again
and the rally site, 32km in all.
Lots of people asked for photographs of them or their children on the bikes afterwards and the riders were more than happy to oblige. It's a great spectacle that is welcomed by the hosts, despite the noise!
